No, leave those they're fine. Just clean any grit, and for heavens sake don't overcook !

It's the Roe. A lot of chefs do not use this part but really it has tremendous flavour. It is attached to both King & Queen scallops. Poach in some double cream, lemon, salt & cracked black pepper. Whisk, pour over white scallop meat then flash under hot grill until golden brown serve on a bed of lemon rice with warm crusty garlic bread. Mmmm

You don't have to, but they are a little chewier than the rest of the scallop, especially if the scallop is large

YES !! When you are scuba diving for lobster & see a scallop bed? The lobsters wait. Think of the orange as the guts of the critter just like a whole clam, fresh! If you are deep frying, then its optional but, for the most part we didn't even eat that raw!!

The coral was once considered waste matter and removed but nowadays it is generally kept on and has a unique flavour of its own. Leave it on and pan fry it with spring onions, garlic and ginger or pan fry it with Pernod or Ricard. So delicious served with spinach or on the half shell with a light cheese sauce.

The orange bits are fine. Rare these days, but certainly edible and ad a beautiful color to the dish.

I have a tangerine (mandarin) in my backyard and a blood orange in my front yard. I would love to find out the answer to this question.
